The radical cleric Abu Qatada is to be released from a top-security jail
today, 24 hours after winning his appeal against deportation to Jordan.

Once described as Osama bin Laden’s right-hand man in Europe, he will be under
a 16-hour curfew but allowed out of his home between 8am and 4pm. He will
have to wear an electronic tag and will be restricted in whom he meets.

Abu Qatada will be driven from Long Lartin top security jail in Worcestershire
to his northwest London home after a court granted him bail yesterday.
